Imprisoned Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi, aged 60 and hailing from Jenin, is reportedly experiencing serious medical neglect within Israel’s Negev prison, according to the Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Authority, via Wafa. Al-Samoudi is held in Section 15, where he endures harsh, inhumane conditions that have exacerbated his already precarious health situation. Authorities say he is in dire need of proper medical attention, which was denied to him while incarcerated.
The report underscores a troubling pattern of poor treatment toward Palestinian detainees and highlights concerns over deliberate medical neglect of journalists, raising questions about compliance with international standards regarding prisoner welfare.
This disclosure comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Israel’s detention conditions, particularly those involving journalists and political prisoners. Though details remain limited, the account paints a worrying picture of deteriorating health conditions for a journalist who risked his safety to report on critical issues.
As the story unfolds, advocates and human rights organizations may use it to press for improved transparency and accountability in detention practices—especially for prisoners requiring urgent medical care.
